    Abstract Background: Aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) is preferentially treated by prompt endovascular coiling, which is not available in Guadeloupe. Subsequently, patients are transferred to Paris, France mainland, by commercial airplane (6751 km flight) after being managed according to guidelines. This study describes the characteristics, management and outcomes related to these patients.
    Methods: Retrospective observational cohort study of 148 patients admitted in intensive care unit for a suspected aSAH and transferred by airplane over a 10-year period (2010-2019).
    Results: The median [interquartile range] age was 53 [45-64] years and 61% were female. On admission, Glasgow coma scale was 15 [13-15], World Federation of Neurological Surgeons (WFNS) grading scale was 1 [1-3] and Fisher scale was 4 [2-4]. External ventricular drainage and mechanical ventilation were performed prior to the flight respectively in 42% and 47% of patients. One-year mortality was 16% over the study period. By COX logistic regression analysis, acute hydrocephalus (hazard ratio [HR] 2.34, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.98-5.58) prior to airplane transfer, WFNS grading scale on admission (HR 1.53, 95% CI 1.16-2.02) and age (OR 1.03, 95% 1.00-1.07) were associated with one-year mortality.
    Conclusion: When necessary, transatlantic air transfer of patients with suspected aSAH after management according to local guidelines seems feasible and safe.

    Abstract Objectives: We aimed to determine the impact of a dedicated medical team (DMT) on ambulatory care for patients requiring oxygen.
    Methods: The DMT selected patients requiring oxygen for less than 5 l/min in the emergency department (ED). The rate of ED readmission was compared in patients managed by the DMT and those managed by the ED physicians (EDPs). Consensual treatment for COVID-19 pneumonia with oxygen requirement was steroids + preventive anticoagulation.
    Results: A total of 1397 patients with COVID-19 came to our ED from the first to the 31
    Conclusion: A DMT for ambulatory care of patients with COVID-19 requiring oxygen was associated with less return to the ED than usual practices.

    Abstract We propose a method to detect early-warning information in relation with subtle changes occurring in the trend of evolution in data time series of the COVID-19 epidemic spread (e.g. daily new cases). The method is simple and easy to implement on laptop computers. It is designed to be able to provide reliable results even with very small amounts of data (i.e. ≈ 10 − 20). The results are given as compact graphics easy to interpret. The data are separated into two subsets: the old data used as control points to statistically define a "trend" and the recent data that are tested to evaluate their conformity with this trend. The trend is characterised by bootstrapping in order to obtain probability density functions of the expected misfit of each data point. The probability densities are used to compute distance matrices where data clusters and outliers are easily visually recognised. In addition to be able to detect very subtle changes in trend, the method is also able to detect outliers. A simulated case is analysed where R<sub>0</sub> is slowly augmented (i.e. from 1.5 to 2.0 in 20 days) to pass from a stable damped control of the epidemic spread to an exponentially diverging situation. The method is able to give an early warning signal as soon as the very beginning of the R<sub>0</sub> variation. Application to the data of Guadeloupe shows that a small destabilising event occurred in the data near April 30, 2020. This may be due to an increase of R<sub>0</sub> ≈ 0.7 around April 13-15, 2020.

    Abstract Predictions on the time-evolution of the number of severe and critical cases of COVID-19 patients in Guadeloupe are presented. A stochastic model is purposely developed to explicitly account for the entire population (≈ 400000 inhabitants) of Guadeloupe. The available data for Guadeloupe are analysed and combined with general characteristics of the COVID-19 to constrain the parameters of the model. The time-evolution of the number of cases follows the well-known exponential-like model observed at the very beginning of a pandemic outbreak. The exponential growth of the number of infected individuals is controlled by the so-called basic reproductive number, R0, defined as the likely number of additional cases generated by a single infectious case during its infectious period TI. Because of the rather long duration of infectious period (≈ 14 days) a high rate of contamination is sustained during several weeks after the beginning of the containment period. This may constitute a source of discouragement for people restrained to respect strict containment rules. It is then unlikely that, during the containment period, R0 falls to zero. Fortunately, our models shows that the containment effects are not much sensitive to the exact value of R0 provided we have R0 < 0.6. For such conditions, we show that the number of severe and critical cases is highly tempered about 4 to 6 weeks after the beginning of the containment. Also, the maximum number of critical cases (i.e. the cases that may exceed the hospital intensive care capacity) remains near 30 when R0 < 0.6. For a larger R0 = 0.8 a slower decrease of the number of critical cases occurs, leading to a larger number of deceased patients. This last example illustrates the great importance to maintain an as low as possible R0 during and after the containment period. The rather long delay between the beginning of the containment and the appearance of the slowing-down of the rate of contamination puts a particular strength on the communication and sanitary education of people. To be mostly efficient, this communication must be done by a locally recognised medical staff. We believe that this point is a crucial matter of success.

    Abstract Using a stochastic epidemic model explicitly considering the entire population of Guadeloupe (1), we explore the domain of solutions presenting an efficient slowing down of the COVID-19 epidemic spread during the post-containment period. The considered model parameters are the basic reproduction number R0 to simulate the effects of social distancing, the time delay δTQ elapsed between the detection of a symptomatic person and her/his placement in quarantine to suppress her/his contagiousness, and the number Na of asymptomatic people tested positively and isolated. We show that acceptable solutions are obtained for a wide range of parameter values. Thanks to a good control of the initial epidemic spread resulting from an early containment and efficient communication by the sanitary and administrative authorities, the present situation corresponds to a pre-epidemic state. The most safe solutions are a combinations of social distancing, numerous testing to perform a systematic isolation of symptomatic patients and guided detection of asymptomatic people in the entourage of localised symptomatic patients.

    Abstract Bacterial resistance in community-acquired urinary tract infections (UTIs) is increasing worldwide. Our study aimed to assess the microbiological epidemiology and antimicrobial susceptibility patterns of community-acquired urine bacterial isolates in French Amazonia. Our study is retrospective. It was conducted from January 2015 to December 2019 in the microbiology laboratory of the Cayenne General Hospital (French Guiana). It includes all positive urine samples from adult (> 18 years) outpatients (N = 2,533). Isolated microorganisms were Gram-negative rods in 83.9%, mainly Enterobacterales (98.4%). The main isolated bacteria were Escherichia coli (58.7%) and Klebsiella pneumoniae (13.3%). Among the isolated E. coli, 37.2% were susceptible to amoxicillin, 77.9% to amoxicillin/clavulanic acid, 94.9% to cefotaxime, 78.9% to ofloxacin, and 98.9% to nitrofurantoin. In 106 cases (5.1%), isolated Enterobacterales were extended-spectrum β-lactamase producers (5% of E. coli and 8.9% of K. pneumoniae). Overall, high levels of cross- and co-resistance were registered. The main isolated Gram-positive bacteria was Staphylococcus saprophyticus (28.9%). It was resistant to oxacillin in 52.5% of cases and susceptible to nitrofurantoin in 99.1% of cases. Patients with S. saprophyticus were young women in almost all cases. In conclusion, the most isolated microorganisms from outpatient urinalyses were E. coli and K. pneumoniae. They showed a high resistance rate to amoxicillin, but they were susceptible to the most remaining antibiotics. S. saprophyticus was isolated mainly in young women and was resistant to oxacillin in half of the cases. Interestingly, nitrofurantoin was active against most isolated organisms and can be considered as empirical treatment in uncomplicated UTIs.
